Mammography
 The Mammography Department of Windsong Radiology Group is fortunate to be associated with the aggressive and progressive philosophy of Janet H. Sung, M.D. and her Associates, all relentless in their pursuit of excellence.
Windsong was the first facility in WNY to provide same-day mammogram results. Each patient has the option to see one of our Board-Certified Radiologists after their exam, and receive their results. Not only does each mammogram get read by one of our experienced radiologists, it is also sent through our Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system. CAD allows our Radiologists to be more effective in their interpretation. This is all a part of our commitment to excellence and state-of-the-art technology, for the benefit of our patients and referring physicians.
Our highly skilled, motivated and caring team of mammography technologists is licensed by NYS and are registered and certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technology. In addition, they are committed to continuing education each year, and are held to the highest standards with additional FDA certification in compliance with the Federal Mammography Quality Standards Act. Our facilities are also accredited by the American College of Radiology.
Digital Mammography
Windsong Radiology Group prides itself on being an innovative, progressive organization utilizing cutting edge technology. We are proud to be one of the first facilities in WNY to offer both analog and full field digital mammography. If you have already experienced conventional analog mammography, there will be no difference in how the exam is performed when using digital mammography. There are no longer size limitations on who can receive a digital mammography exam.
The difference is in the processing of the exam. Because it is digital, the resulting images are available within 10-15 seconds of the exposure so the technologist can immediately determine if positioning adequately exhibits as much breast tissue as possible.
Once the exam is complete, the images are sent directly to the radiologists' workstation for review. Studies have shown that the digital exam saves patients valuable time and additional radiation exposure by reducing the need for repeat imaging. Additionally, the Digital Mammographic Screening Trial (DMIST) found that digital technology is superior to analog when it comes to younger women or those with dense breasts. As always, films are available if needed. If you have any questions regarding mammography, please call Laura or Karen at (716) 631-2500 ext. 2127 or 2128.
